Kerry finally asked Suzie the question she had been dying to ask. “Why doesn't Nathan have a personal assistant? Miss Fuentes has her own assistant. Why does Nathan share you with Mr Myers?”
“I don't mind being shared,” was Suzie's gleeful reply. “I get paid double!”
But when Suzie fell silent and pursed her lips, Kerry knew that there was more to it and the woman was trying to decide how much to tell her. “Nathan's last two secretaries...well, they didn't conduct themselves appropriately,” Suzie said at last.
“Oh, they...”
“They tried to seduce Nathan. And when they failed, they had the gall to sue for sexual harassment!” Suzie huffed, slamming her stapler onto the table. “Good thing the company has the best lawyers. Nathan never touched them. Those women...really!”
Suzie's violent outburst made Kerry like and respect the older woman even more. She was fiercely loyal to the company and her bosses and she seemed to regard Nathan more like a younger brother than a boss.
Kerry put away the files and stretched. Suzie was at her desk in front of Mr Myer's office, and the frosted glass partitions blocked her view of the CFO and COO's offices.
The top floor was peaceful and private, but a little too quiet. And with Nathan out of the office, Kerry wished she had a little more hustle and bustle around her.
Kerry jerked her head up even before she heard Nathan's footsteps. It was strange, but she could sense him.
She stood up as he approached her desk. Nathan had been out for a meeting the whole day. Kerry drank in the sight of him greedily. Nathan looked so handsome, with his dark hair slightly tousled and his shirt sleeves rolled up. He had taken off his jacket and was loosening his tie as he strode towards her.
Kerry grabbed her notes and began to rattle off the list of people who had called while he was out of the office. But Nathan silenced her by grabbing her and crushing his mouth to hers.
His kiss was bruising and hungry, and he cupped his hand over her nape to hold her captive as he plundered her mouth.
Nathan didn't let her go. His lips devoured hers, and his tongue was relentless. Kerry opened to him, giving him everything he wanted, letting him know that she was his.
He had been away from the office since morning, but it was obvious that neither of them could stand being apart from each other for long. This maddening yearning and craving from getting worse and worse.
She saw Nathan every single day. And yet...she couldn't get enough of him.
Not having him in the office with her the whole morning and afternoon was sheer torture. She couldn't understand this craving, this obsession. It couldn't be healthy, could it?
But Nathan's hunger for her was equally insatiable and ungovernable. He wanted her, all the time. Kerry saw that he had to adjust himself and hide his erection when other staff were present. He was constantly hard for her, and it was by sheer iron will that he managed to leash his lust and his wolf.
But now, his hunger was raging out of control. He had denied himself, held himself back for the past few days. There was no controlling the inferno within him now.
Nathan broke the kiss and they stared at each other, the heat and tension thrumming in the air between them. His eyes blazed as he yanked her into his arms and pushed her into his office.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
Nathan locked the door once he had Kerry in his office. It had been days since he'd taken Kerry and he needed to have her again. He had claimed her that night, and his wolf was ravenous. The beast was starving, so hungry and eager for his mate.
The past few nights had been hell for him. It just wasn't right not having Kerry in his bed. She was his mate. He should be enjoying her every single night, taking her and hearing her cries of pleasure.
Kerry was breathing hard and he could scent her fierce arousal. Her body was wet and aching for him, and he could see that her nipples had pebbled under her bra. His mouth watered as his canines stabbed out. He let out a dangerous feral growl as he stared at her.
Kerry didn't resist when he grabbed her and pinned her against the wall. Their hands fumbled and tore at each other's clothes as they kissed with a wild, desperate hunger.
Kerry slid his shirt off his shoulder and put her mouth on his bare skin. Nathan growled when she pressed her lips to his chest and bit him.
Pushing the two halves of her blouse apart, Nathan unhooked her bra to release her quivering, bountiful breasts. He squeezed those beautiful mounds and suckled her hard. His mate tasted so damn amazing.
Kerry panted and speared her fingers through his hair, pressing him to her, begging him to take more. When Nathan slid her skirt and panties down her legs, she parted her legs for him immediately.
Nathan knelt in front of her and hooked one of her legs over his shoulder. He began to eat her pussy greedily, his tongue delving deep into her glistening, pink folds. Licking all the cream from her sex, Nathan fucked her with his tongue until she was shaking and thrashing her head from side to side. He didn't stop until he felt her come against his mouth.
Standing up swiftly, Nathan supported her trembling body with one arm and undid his belt and zipper. Kerry wrapped her arms and legs around him, and cried out as he pressed the crown of his aching cock against her clit. Wriggling with impatience, Kerry squirmed as she tried to impale herself on his rock hard cock.
Nathan smirked and carried her to his large desk. His desk was clear, with only his laptop at the far corner of the desk.
Nathan laid Kerry down on his desk and looked down at the beautiful sight of his mate spread beneath him. He kissed her deeply as he slid himself all the way into her tight, hot pussy.
Kerry moaned as he thrust into her. Her breasts bounced in time to his thrusts, and Nathan bent down to pull those erect, dusky nipples into his mouth.
He stroked deep into her, savoring the heavenly sensation of being inside his mate. She was his. She belonged with him. Being apart from her for any length of time was sheer, maddening torture.
“Kerry,” he breathed. My mate.
She looked up at him with desire and want. The passion and trust he saw in her beautiful gray eyes awakened a storm of emotions in him. He felt proud, humbled, possessive and protective. He would do anything and everything for her. Whatever she wanted and needed, he would provide. It had taken him so long to find her. This beautiful, amazing, incredible female was his mate.
The other half of his soul. His forever love, his strength, his weakness and his life.
Nathan lifted her up and kissed her long and hard. His heart was bursting with pride and love as he took his mate. Kerry was an amazing woman, so strong, caring and loving. She gave herself freely to him, and she was fiercely protective of those she loved. Family was everything to her, and he was so proud to have this wonderful woman as his mate. She would be a great mother to their pups, and he longed for the day when her belly would grow round and swollen with his child.
She ran her hands down his back and gazed into his eyes. “Nathan,” she whispered. “I...I don't think I will ever stop wanting you.” I love you.
CHAPTER TWENTY
Kerry saw the feral glow enter Nathan's eyes as his wolf rose. She didn't speak her last three words aloud. A small part of her was afraid that Nathan wouldn't say it back. It was too much, too soon. And yet, everything felt so right.
Kerry pushed away all her thoughts and worries so she could savor Nathan fully. She loved all of him, and she wasn't scared of his wolf. His wolf was a part of him, and she knew that Nathan would never hurt her.
Nathan was still inside her, and Kerry felt her pussy pulse and constrict around him. She was getting wetter, her body responding to his fierce, insatiable appetite for her.
Kerry panted and clawed at his broad shoulders, her need riding her hard. She wanted him to fuck her hard, take her and use her. She was human, but she wasn't a fragile little thing. She wouldn't break.
A low growl erupted from Nathan as he sensed her need. She licked her lips in a
nticipation as he tightened his grip on her. She knew Nathan would give her what she wanted and needed. She trusted him completely, and she wasn't afraid to surrender her body and pleasure to him. He would take care of her. Always.
Nathan grabbed her and flipped her around suddenly. He bent her over his desk and kicked her legs wider apart. Holding her hips firmly, Nathan entered her from behind and sank deeply into her slick, tight heat.
Kerry spread her arms and gripped the sides of the wide, smooth desk as Nathan pistoned in and out of her body. The cool, polished surface of the desk contrasted with the scorching friction between their bodies.
Her sensitive nipples were rubbing against the desk as Nathan pounded into her, making her body tingle and shiver uncontrollably. It felt so good, and the fact that they were fucking in his office added a dangerous thrill to the experience.
They might get caught. Someone might see them or hear them. And she was pretty sure that having sex with the boss wasn't part of her job description.
Kerry glanced at the door of his sprawling office, trying to remember if anyone saw them fumbling into his office but her thoughts were too jumbled and foggy.
No coherent thought was possible. Kerry couldn't think at all. She could only feel, and this felt so amazing. Nathan set her entire body on fire, making every nerve sing with pleasure. He mastered her body, owned it and knew exactly what she craved.
Kerry pressed her fist to her mouth to muffle her scream as she came. Nathan continued surging into her, hitting her most sensitive spot and driving her higher and higher. She closed her eyes at the intense, unbelievable pleasure. She orgasmed repeatedly, letting wave after wave of explosive pleasure crash through her body.
She could feel Nathan take his release as he shuddered and dug the tips of his claws into her thighs. As his seed shot into her clenching pussy, Kerry climaxed one last time.
Unable to move or speak, Kerry was only vaguely aware of Nathan lifting her up and carrying her in his arms. Her body was limp and boneless, and she let out a soft purr of contentment.
When Kerry finally opened her eyes, she realized that Nathan had placed her gently on the couch. He was already dressed, with only a few buttons of his shirt undone.
When she tried to reach for her clothes, Nathan kissed her tenderly and whispered, “Let me.”
He slid her panties on, dragging them slowly up her legs. The heated look in his eyes made her shiver with desire. Nathan's smirk was both infuriating and arousing.
He knew what he was doing to her. And he was mighty proud of himself.
Nathan knew her body so well. He was a skilful, generous lover, and he loved giving and taking pleasure. The man knew just how to turn her on and melt her into a puddle of lust.
He had made her come so many times and satisfied her so completely. Nathan had made her body undeniably his, and he knew it.
Pulling her blouse close over her bra, Nathan ran his thumb over the swell of her breast and down her body. Kerry pushed his hand away and stood up to button herself up. She tucked her blouse firmly into her skirt and stepped away from him. If he kept touching her, they would end up naked again in no time.
Kerry ran her fingers through her messy hair and said, “We can't keep meeting like this, darling.” She tried for a flirty, mischievous tone and failed.
It was just a joke. But Nathan's eyes flashed and his expression darkened.
Taking her hand, Nathan looked deep into her eyes and said solemnly, “Move in with me.”
She blinked at him, her lips parted to speak but no words came.
“You are my mate, Kerry. We belong together, and we belong to each other. You should be in my life, in my bed,” he said. “You are mine.”
Kerry forced a breath into her lungs. “I...”
“You want me. You want...us.” When she started to shake her head, Nathan ran his thumb over her lips and said, “Don't deny it, Kerry. I can scent your emotions and your hunger. We are mated, and the mate bond is undeniable and unbreakable. I found you, and I won't let you go. Be with me, Kerry.”
“Nathan...” Kerry swallowed. She did feel deeply for him, and she did want to be with him. Being with Nathan just felt so right, and she had never felt safer or happier with a man.
But...
“I can't move in with you,” Kerry said, pulling her hand away.
Nathan's eyes followed her as she backed towards the door. But he made no attempt to stop her.
“I may be your mate, Nathan, but I'm also Tia's sister,” Kerry whispered. In a firmer voice, she said, “My sister needs me. I can't leave Tia. I can't, and I won't.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Kerry opened the door of her apartment to see Nathan standing there with a stern, determined look on his face. He looked like a man on a mission. Behind him were four gloved, burly men wearing similar-colored t-shirts with a small logo at the side. She could make out the word “movers” on their logo but nothing else.
“Um, morning,” Kerry stammered as Nathan pushed through the doorway. It was the weekend and she hadn't even had breakfast.
Nathan smiled grimly at her, his eyes gleaming with heat and purpose. “These guys are here to help you move.” Nathan indicated the muscled men behind him. “Tell them what needs to be packed, and they'll get everything done in a jiffy.”
“P-packed?” Kerry spluttered.
“Hi, Nathan,” Tia called sleepily as she strolled out of her bedroom. “Woah, who are these guys? What's happening? What am I missing?”
“Hi Tia.” Nathan greeted her with a grin. “You are missing nothing, young lady. You'd better get dressed though. You and Kerry are moving today.”
“Moving?” the sisters said in unison.
“Yup. You're moving into the apartment just two floors down from mine. I own quite a few units in the building, and the tenant has just vacated that unit. A vacant unit is a damn waste of space so you girls are moving in today,” Nathan said matter-of-factly.
Kerry glared at him. He spoke as if the matter had already been decided.
“Which building is this?” Tia asked curiously. “Where will we be moving to?”
“Regent Towers,” Nathan answered.
Tia's eyes bugged. “Regent Towers? No way! The rent there is sky high!” She chortled. “It is sky high! There are like...ninety floors or something. Maybe more. I'm not even sure. I bet you can touch the clouds if you open your window!”
Nathan laughed. “Sorry but I'm pretty sure you can't touch the clouds. Speaking from experience.”
“Gah!” Tia exclaimed. “Regent Towers! Gosh!” She took a deep breath and said, “Okay. Let the other shoe drop. How much is the rent?”
“I own the unit. You'll be staying rent free,” Nathan said simply.
“No,” Kerry said.
Tia glanced at her and turned to Nathan. “Why?”
“Why what?” Nathan shrugged.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Kerry is my mate. I take care of my family,” Nathan replied simply. “Family stays together.”
“Your family, eh?” Tia lifted a brow and smirked. “What if—we don't want to move? What you gonna do?”
“Then I'll move into your apartment,” Nathan answered without hesitation.
“You're kidding,” Tia snorted. She saw the expression on Nathan's face and muttered, “No you're not. Oh my God, you're serious.” Her eyes flew between Nathan and Kerry and a slow smile spread across her face. “You're serious about Kerry.”
“She is my mate.”
Tia nodded thoughtfully. “You can't be apart from her. And you...” She pointed at Kerry. “You're miserable without him.”
“I'm not miserable!” Kerry protested.
“You're my sister. I know you,” Tia said. “You've been like a zombie, Kerry. You miss him and you luuuuurve him.”
“I...”
“I know you love me too,” Tia said, smiling. “But you belong with your mate.”
“We are staying
together, Tia,” Kerry said adamantly. “I have to take care of you...”
Tia rolled her eyes. “I'm not a baby. And you'll just be two floors up. I'm an adult. I want to stay on my own.” She turned to Nathan and said, “So this is the arrangement. I move into the apartment. And Kerry moves in with you. Right?”
Nathan regarded Tia for a moment and said, “I will hire a full-time nurse for you. And I will equip you with a wrist monitor. All you have to do is press a button on the monitor and Kerry and I will be notified immediately.”
Tia grinned. “Awesome! See, you don't have to worry about me.”
Kerry planted a hand on her hip. So now they were ganging up on her. “Wait a minute, I didn't agree...”
“Kerry, please,” Tia pleaded. “You can't be mothering me all the time.”
“Yes I can. I'm your big sister...”
“And you're also his mate,” Tia said. “You have your life. And I want to be independent. I'm not an invalid. Not yet anyway. Don't treat me like a corpse before I'm one.”
“Tia!” Kerry cried.
Nathan went to Kerry and tugged her gently to him. “I won't let anything happen to Tia. I will hire the best nurses for her. She will have round-the-clock care. Tia is my sister too. I promise you she'll be safe.”
Tia smiled smugly at Kerry. “You're a mated woman now,” she said, wagging a finger. “You can't live at home forever, Kerry.”
Kerry released an exasperated breath, but she did see her sister's point. And this arrangement was in fact way better. Right now, Tia was left alone for most of the day while Kerry was at work. Their neighbors dropped by every hour or so to check on Tia, and Kerry knew that it wasn't the ideal arrangement but she couldn't afford to hire a full-time nurse for Tia.
